Sunflower Thieves are one of the best discoveries I’ve made in 2022 so far. Their lo-fi, indie-folk sound really is something to savour. It makes their debut EP ‘Someone to be there for’ a delectable delight to listen to. The five tracks carry you away into an almost dream-like state, floating on the duo’s soulfulContinue reading “Sunflower Thieves – Someone to be there for”

Daisy Chute – Secondhand Heart
The new single from Daisy Chute is terribly beautiful. ‘Secondhand Heart’ could be described as a tragic love story, told in the most delicate way. The strings of the guitar are plucked so gently, Daisy’s vocals meandering alongside them so naturally, as to give the track a dream-like quality. Snippets of jazz and touches ofContinue reading “Daisy Chute – Secondhand Heart”

Molly & The Moon – In the Morning EP
I am doing Molly and The Moon a disservice by listening to their latest EP in the dark of the evening. I have just come in from a walk under the fading moon whose face is blotched with grey gauze clouds.

Charlotte Campbell – On the Southbank
For anyone struggling to cope with isolation, may I prescribe Charlotte Campbell’s new album as the perfect tonic. The London busker’s latest release shines as bright through my stereo as the spring sun through my window.

The Trials of Cato with Tant – Pontio Arts Centre
You know you’ve hit on something good when the support act is as good as the headliner. It may have been The Trials of Cato that we had come to see, but it was the five-piece female band Tant that we went away talking about. Running slightly late, we wandered into the theatre at PontioContinue reading “The Trials of Cato with Tant – Pontio Arts Centre”
Molly-Anne – Autumn Leaves EP
I am sat listening to Molly-Anne’s new EP Autumn Leaves on a sunny but chilly afternoon. After a night of hard frost, the sun has finally managed to break through, leaving a watery coat on the red, yellow, brown and green of the trees and bushes. They glisten gently in the garden, a decorative spaceContinue reading “Molly-Anne – Autumn Leaves EP”
